Shreveport Cheap Hotels

Shreveport is on the Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas borders. Known for its casinos and cuisine, this third largest city in the state is also home to many quality, discount hotels with affordable prices on rooms. Originally home to the Caddo Indians, it is named after a steam boat captain who in 1833 cleared the Red River of debris so commerce of cotton, hay and other goods could resume. It has been a hub of river trade ever since.

There is much more to do in Shreveport than visiting the casinos, though that and the low priced hotel rooms are what attract many visitors. There are some unique museums in the area including The Multicultural Center of the South that houses exhibits and artifacts from Native American, African American, Creole, Cajun and Middle Eastern cultures who have lived here. The Eighth Air Force Museum has planes from WWII, Viet Nam and Desert Storm and items from when President George W Bush was flown to nearby Barksdale Air Force Base for protection on 9-11. Centenary College has a museum with rotating art exhibits. There are great deals on discount hotel rooms nearby.

For outdoors enthusiasts and flower lovers, don't miss the American Rose Center with over 20,0000 rose bushes. Shreveport also offers many parks nestled near quality hotels with low-cost rooms. Municipal Plaza Park houses the auditorium and a multicultural garden reflecting Chinese, Japanese, African and Indian cultures. Cross Lake and Caddo Lake offer some of the best water sports in this part of the country, especially sailing and boating. Shreveport is also known for its golf courses such as Lakeside Golf Course and Westwood Executive just minutes from comfortable, quality low-priced motel rooms.

At night, enjoy jazz and blues clubs, and good eatin' restaurants in the river district around Commerce and Texas streets. The Phoenix Underground plays sounds of the 60's and 70's. Lee's offers a variety of music from Cajun to Country Western. It's all just steps away from comfortable, quality hotel rooms with low-cost rates.

Shreveport is about four hours from Dallas, Texas and three hours from Jackson, Mississippi along I-20.
